A former secretary of state of Ohio argues that the Trump campaign shouldn’t concede the election – but instead should continue to challenge the validity of Biden electors from several battleground states.
Although yesterday (December 14) was the official date for electors to submit their votes to the Electoral College, the Trump campaign is now calling on Republican-controlled state legislatures in the contested battleground states to submit their own slates of electors to compete with those certified by the governors.
Ken Blackwell, the former Ohio secretary of state, now serves as senior fellow for human rights and constitutional governance at the Family Research Council. During an appearance on American Family Radio on Monday, he said many questions remain unanswered.
“I think that this is going to be at least prosecuted through January 6,” he offered. “What I understand from the campaign is that in some of these battleground states [on Monday] there will be alternative slates that will be presented – and it is the campaign’s hope that these alternative slates will be sent to Congress with the Biden electors and that pushes it where it should be: in the hands of the Congress to decide which one of the slates should be accepted.”
Blackwell added: “This is really in the hands of Republican leaders in these state legislatures. They cannot turn a blind eye to these transgressions of the Constitution.”
And he says that by no means should President Donald Trump prematurely concede as the legal fight is continuing – and that under no circumstances should Joe Biden be referred to as “president-elect.”

Ken Blackwell, you have a spine and you are a patriot, unlike the Republicans In Name Only. God Bless you, Ken!
AMEN
HE seems to be one of the FEW, that do…
It surprises me how no one seems to be making the argument Article IV, Section 4, states “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government….”
Madison argued, a democracy provides no check on the majority to protect the weaker party or individuals
And every individual whose vote was in the minority can demand the majority play by the same rules in the Constitution for how state electors are selected
The Supreme Court’s no ” judicially cognizable interest” ignores the guarantee to EVERY state in the Union a Republican Form of Government, where the minorities rights of a fair election cannot be taken away by the majority
It is absurd to argue the guarantee only applies within the states but not between the states because it explicitly states “every State in this Union”
Hence why EVERYONE on that court, is getting EARFULS from everyone of us writing them!
Yes, this is a civil rights case. The old southern states could not and no longer do discriminate against racial minorities and the states with corrupt elections must no longer discriminate against states with honest elections. It is that simple and that important to the Constitution and to the nation founded thereon.
Trump did win the election. Only the reporting of this fact needs to be corrected.
MAGA.

Why is it not being pointed out and hammered home how, with the horrible, certain death, God awful CHINA virus we had to circumvent the state legislators of their Constitutional duty and change the voting procedures at the will of the states Governors and Sec. of state …but we can’t circumvent the Constitution and take the time to validate ALL the ballots?
WE need to validate and count, ALL LEGAL ballots..
Joe Biden is not MY President-elect, and he will NEVER be my President. He is an illegitimate USURPER trying to SLITHER into the White House on a wave of voter fraud and ballot shennanigans that is UNPRECEDENTED. If THIS is going to be how elections are conducted from now on (IF, indeed, we continue to HAVE them once the Demmunists have STOLEN power and taken over the White House) we might as well not bother showing up to vote, because the will of the people means exactly NOTHING to these power-mad, conniving, CHEATING, vote-stealing Demmunists.
WE the right, need to DO TO HIM, exactly what the left has CONTINUALLY DONE to trump, for 4 years, EVEN BEFORE he was inaugurated…
